NVIDIA GTX 1060 3 GB Specifications Confirmed - 1152 CUDA Cores

NVIDIA GTX 1060 3 GB models may launch in September with a price around $149 US.

Rumors concerning the launch of a 3 GB variant of the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card by NVIDIA may end upwards existence true every bit the company showcased its specifications in a briefing held in China. The GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card was released last month and was aimed at the RX 480 solution with a starting price of $249 U.s.a.. The 3 GB variant of this carte will exist competing against the RX 470 with a toll targeting the $199 United states of america mark.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 three GB Specifications Confirmed - Launching in September With Price Around $199 US

When the GeForce GTX 1060 launched, it was expected to accept two variants, a 6 GB and 3 GB VRAM model. It was presently revealed that the 3 GB variant could differ in specifications compared to the 6 GB variant aiming at a more optimized configuration of the GP106 core rather than featuring a full blown die. We take seen a couple of listings for 3 GB GTX 1060 models but none of them accept launched so far but Chinese folks were able to get first specifications of the carte at a conference held in Mainland china.

First of all, the 3 GB GTX 1060 is indeed a cut down variant with one of the SM unit of measurement disabled. This results in only 1152 CUDA cores compared to 1280 on the complete GP106 die. While the 6 GB GTX 1060 uses the GP106-400 GPU, the 3 GB model comes with the GP106-300 die. Having one disabled SM means that the carte du jour will retain its 48 ROPs just TMUs will be cut down to 72.

The card volition retain its 192-bit memory motorbus and feature 3 GB of GDDR5 memory rather than half-dozen GB which is only for the total GP106 die. The retention will exist clocked at 8 GHz constructive clock speed resulting in a total of 192 GB/s bandwidth. The card will too feature the aforementioned 120W TDP as the 6 GB variant and power will be provided by a single vi-Pin connector. While TDP remains the same, the card will have more headroom bachelor to boost at a higher clock rate compared to the 6 GB variant which is also a very power efficient graphics carte du jour based on the Pascal architecture.

The GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB model would retain all the basic features of the half dozen GB model such every bit NVIDIA SMP Support, NVIDIA ANSEL Support, DirectX 12 / Vulkan API Support and VR-Gear up gaming performance. Display connectivity would include three DP 1.four, 1x HDMI ii.0b and 1x DVI-D port. The GTX 1060 will exist priced shut to the $199 US which means it volition compete against both RX 480 4 GB and RX 470 custom models.

The half-dozen GB GTX 1060 model does come up out faster than the RX 480 8 GB in most cases so we could see around 90% (+/- 5%) GPU performance of the half-dozen GB model on this card. Look availability in September in diverse custom models from NVIDIA's AIB partners.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Rumored To Launch in October - Performance Close to GTX 960 at $149 U.s.?

The 2nd bill of fare that has been rumored for launch this yr is the GTX 1050. According to IThome, this card will be priced very close to $149 United states of america and volition be replacing the GTX 950 which was based on the GM206 GPU. We can non tell if this will feature the GP106 GPU or something else only the site alleges that the card would feature 128 fleck charabanc interface.

Performance wise, the card will hit the performance numbers of the GTX 960 graphics bill of fare at a very depression price signal and with much higher efficiency. Nosotros tin can wait the TDP to be beneath 100W and just like the 950, nosotros tin see some models that don't crave extra power connector. The card will be aimed at the RX 460 which does a well chore against the R7 370 from last year. The RX 460 iv GB models ship at price of $119 US+ so we can expect NVIDIA's model to feature higher functioning at a college cost point.
